Shower - is a marble shower pan with a pebble finish - there is a hidden trough drain under the shower seat allowing us to eliminate the center drain and enjoy the beauty of the full slab of marble. The glass is a seamless european-style surround and it is held at the top by a basic black plumber's pipe and components giving it it's industrial esthetic. Beams -These were not original beams, we created the look to appear original but they are new wood, sanded, stained and finished to look old. Bathtub - The bathtub is a Kohler Vintage Free Standing tub with a cove-trim base. Tower - The bathroom tower was custom built by an artisan in the region. Countertop - The countertop is a wood stained, hand-hewn walnut with a marine finish (helps with water absorption) and custom cut by fabricator Light Fixtures - These light fixtures were from WaterWorks Walls - The walls are large scale bead boards with a sprayed lacquer conversion varnish which gives it the clean white look

Paul Dyer Photography: Situated on a San Francisco hilltop, this 100 year old bungalow received a complete renovation by McElroy Architecture. Opening up to the panoramic views are expansive sliding doors on each level. Quantum’s Lift & Slide doors are equipped with stainless steel carriage systems in aluminum dark bronze, euro black weather-stripping, bronze anodized sill track and head guide finish, and oil rubbed bronze levers and flush pulls. Our Hinged doors were installed with full mortise butt hinges finished in dark oil rubbed bronze, and sills featuring 6” legs beyond side jambs. The Signature Series push-out sash windows feature handle and strike hardware in oil rubbed bronze finish, bronze weather-stripping and four bar stainless steel friction hinges. The French casement windows have flush bolts mounted to floating astragal in a dark oil rubbed bronze finish. The home also incorporates Euro Series fixed panels coupled with a special angled Signature Series transom. Furthermore, we find throughout the project, obscure glazing specified as acid-etched satin translucent. The project’s windows and doors are made of Douglas Fir, with Sapele door sills, interior rectangular sticking and exterior beveled glazing stops.

Featured in Southern Living, May 2013. This project began with an existing house of most humble beginnings and the final product really eclipsed the original structure. On a wonderful working farm with timber farming, horse barns and lots of large lakes and wild game the new layout enables a much fuller enjoyment of nature for this family and their friends. The look and feel is just as natural as its setting- stone and cedar shakes with lots of porches and as the owner likes to say, lots of space for animal heads on the wall!

The designer took a cue from the surrounding natural elements, utilizing richly colored cabinetry to complement the ceiling’s rustic wood beams. The combination of the rustic floor and ceilings with the rich cabinetry creates a warm, natural space that communicates an inviting mood.
